    This makes no sense. So if a vaccinated person does become infected the stronger cells get killed / suppressed while the weaker ones get transmitted?

    You simply cannot know that. Pretending that you do is cute though.

    I know what my doctor and medical science in general say. Pretending you know better than them is cute.

    I explicitly said that I don't know. And neither do your doctors. Pretending that you comprehend what you read is cute.

    I'm sorry. I don't see where you get that from. As I understand it the body's immune system is strengthened, the effect is the same as weakening all the virus cells

    NOLA is the a#%ho@e of the country and its government has always gone above and beyond to make every situation worse for the minorities that live their. Although, I don't know if "minority" is the proper term for POC in the large urban s-holes in the SE US.

    I do not know why POC can't see that the failed policies of big city govs hits them the hardest...

    Maybe elsewhere in this thread, but not in a reply to me, you didn't. Good to know you're so proud of your ignorance, I guess.

    Being so arrogant as to ignore experts seems like a dangerous way to live.

    Yes, it is downright stupid to have these types of rules because science has concluded that the vaccinated spread the virus just as much as the unvaccinated to.

    Why wouldn't people know about it especially since some of the men it happened to were still alive when the story broke? You don't think there are people alive today whose fathers and grandfathers didn't tell them about this?

    I don't know any kids in NYC so I have no way of knowing.

    I'm speaking to the fact that you have no way of knowing either. Have you surveyed all the kids in NYC? How do you know what they know and don't know.

    If you are speaking in general terms that most teens/young adults are self-centered and not interested in other people, I agree. If you are saying these people are clueless because of their race or culture or geographic location, I disagree (and I didn't go back and read this whole thread so it could be either of those).

    History is just a small part of what a kid learns in school, and the history I had to learn were the major events, we weren't taught about about things that only impacted small amounts of people. Most of what we were taught followed the presidents as in we first learned about what happened up to George Washington and maybe a few presidents after him. Then in the next grade they'd pick up in the era where the prior class left off. The history we were taught stopped at WWII.

    What I'm getting at is we were taught basic history, Tuskegee is more specific and/or specialized, and I never knew about it until after high school.

    I learned about it in college, so after HS for me too. This is a tiny snapshot of why CRT has been developed. America is not just the white man's country. Yes, white men have all the privileges but it's supposed to be ONE nation. And, I'm not saying that to suggest everybody needs to hear the horrible details of Tuskegee, or slavery or smallpox genocide or the other horrors, but to pretend that only ONE people created our great nation is a lie. It's a lie by omission (deletion of all our ancestors' contributions).

    It's not racist to teach that. That's equal.

    No one taught me it was white people who fought the Brits or wrote our constitution. In fact, race never came up at all, they didn't play those games back then. Not even during the classes on WWII did they mention it was yellow people who attacked Pearl Harbor, it was the country of Japan.

    We all learned the same history lessons in US schools. There was no reason for discussion about race because there was no distinctions. If ALL the pictures in the books are of the same race (or gender or species or color (hues)) why would it raise questions especially to a kid?

    It's 2021 and I know some white people that have never seen a black person in real life. One of my neighbors is VERY racist. He won't eat Chinese, Mexican or Italian foods. The funniest part is his grandfather was from France so he's not "100%" either. Maybe I'm just too lazy. Hate and anger take a ton of energy I don't want to expend. ;-)

    I like Mexican, Chinese and Italian food, even though the chinese and italian food where I live sucks. But since I like those ethnic foods, that means I'm not a racist, yay for me.

    I bet no one follows the mandates, there are no consequences but New Orleans will be the Hero for putting it on the books.

    No, that's not what that means at all!

    I assumed you would read between the lines and recognize somebody that persnickety probably doesn't say too many positive things about people of other races.

    I'm between Chicago (where I was born and raised) and Wisconsin now. I miss Chicago food SO MUCH. It truly is the best. I always go to 3-5 of my favorite places when I'm in town and just pig out for a week on it. Fortunately, I only do that about 1-2 times per year so my scale doesn't hate me.

    Like it!?!?!?! I learned how to make it because I was stuck out-of-state and begged them to FedEx it. They said "no".

    No city that calls pizza "pie" <----that's just wrong! deserves accolades!

    Dude, it’s a pie and there’s no pineapple slices on it.

    in 2003 I went back to Jersey and took my then girlfriend with me, she’s from California. She said the pizza was the best she ever had. In fact, she said all the food there was the best she ever had. She did needle me when this one pizza joint had whole wheat pizza with goat cheese smothered in apples and spinach. Apparently someone from California decided to open a pizza joint in NJ, there’s no other possible explanation.

    Never pie. No.
    No pineapple - agreed.

    I've never had pizza in CA. I have had those gourmet pizzas though. I can't think of the name of it but they had brick ovens so you could see your pizza cooking through the openings. They hand tosses the dough so it was never a perfect round shape either. It was okay. I didn't understand what all the rage was about.

    Is pizza in CA more like NJ style or the Chicago style?

    Pizza is California is like having ketchup on cardboard. The only food in CA that’s good is the Mexican food. I was able to get better Chinese and Italian food in Puerto Rico.

    Oh, I know what kind of pizza you're describing. Really? I've only been there once and that was a trip to Hollywood Studios. I would have probably guessed they had relatively good food there but I have no reason for the basis of that guess. But that kind of pizza should be illegal.

    Culturally appropriating Italian food and totally messing it up is bigoted, racist, sexist and homophobic. Did I leave anything out?
